...and the silence is broken....sort of....

Well it's been exactly 2 weeks since the ride of a lifetime, a.k.a. Sock Summit 2009 ended and I am finally getting around to posting. WHEW! What a spectacular event. It was so great, with so much going on that I took very few pictures. Fortunately, I do have some photos coming my way from various locations that I hope to be posting soon. In the mean time here is what I have:

Knitters patiently waiting for the Marketplace to open...

Debra and I at the info desk. See the marketplace behind us? (that's really a small a tiny portion of the whole beautiful thing!)

I snagged this next pic from my bff irishgirlieknits. She was a rockstar with her help! I love her more than she can know.....

That is the pile of lanyards we had to give out to the vendors as they checked in. More on our fantastic vendors in a later post....

This is irishgirlieknits and me with our Queen Bee bags. Aren't they cute?

If you don't know about Queen Bee you should! It's a great local Portland company that has the cutest bags! Go look here ....I'll wait........

Cute, right?

Well that is the extent of the pictures I have or have stolen from my bff. More photos and more about the Summit later........

...just another day at the office...

So, I've been spend some serious time at Sock Summit World Headquarters lately. What? How many sleeps? That's right......2! Anywho, I thought I'd give you a look see at what a typical day at the office might look like.

This is the entrance to Tina's office.....lots of top secret stuff going on in there.

Note the sign that says "closed"....yeah right......

When things get a bit sticky she sometimes calls on Nigel to help her out. He's pretty smart and a little bit stubborn.

...but JoAnn knows how to put him in his place...don't mess with her.

You've heard of the infamous post-its? Well, I'm here to tell you that all of what you have heard is true. As Steph said today regarding post-its, "3-M owes us big time". Here's why.

Everything you see sticking to a wall is a post-it of some variety. And those things hanging from those clothespins.....post-its...And believe me, we've seen them all.

Sometimes we need a beverage while working. It's important to stay hydrated.

And here is my little corner of the Sock Summit world....(if you see me in the Marketplace, I better have this book in my hand. It has my life in it.

I only have one question left...if I don't go to sleep tonight....do I still have 2 sleeps left? just sayin'.....
